00:00:20 – 00:01:41 | Introduction and WrestleMania Aftershock Coach welcomes listeners, promises a must-hear breakdown of WrestleMania Night 2, and immediately sets a somber tone by calling it “maybe the worst night WWE has ever had.” He teases the explosive analysis he and Vince Russo—drawing on their nearly 20 years combined WWE experience—are about to deliver.

00:03:56 – 00:05:45 | Main Event Disaster: Creative Misfires and Missing Superstars
Coach critiques the WrestleMania main event, calling it slow and anticlimactic. He spotlights Travis Scott’s bizarre interference and The Rock’s weeks-long absence, speculating about major backstage turmoil as even superstar John Cena appears confused in public comments.

00:05:46 – 00:08:50 | Fans Duped? The Rock’s Vanishing Act and Ticket Fallout
Russo and Coach discuss the implications of WWE hyping The Rock, then not delivering, despite inflated ticket prices. They dissect The Rock's radio silence on social media and question if there’s a deeper rift between The Rock, Triple H, and WWE creative.

00:08:51 – 00:13:29 | Triple H’s Ego, Hall of Fame Hijinks, and WWE Political Games
Both pundits point to Triple H overwhelming the weekend with self-glorifying appearances, including a one hour, 47-minute Hall of Fame speech and a grand entrance overshadowing legends like Steve Austin and Bret Hart. Russo wonders if this is hubris or a setup for Triple H’s downfall.

They question if WWE’s gamble—taking fan loyalty for granted and snubbing long-time supporters—has finally backfired. Coach floats a theory that The Rock might be flexing his power, perhaps even no-showing as a form of protest against management.

00:18:30 – 00:19:28 | Could The Rock Have No-Showed WrestleMania?
Russo speculates about a possible last-minute no-show by The Rock, citing his pervasive silence as a telling indicator of deep issues within WWE.

00:19:29 – 00:21:29 | Social Media Snooping: The Rock’s Deafening Silence
Coach examines The Rock’s Twitter, uncovering a suspicious three-day silence during the most pivotal time for WWE, fueling speculation of behind-the-scenes strife.

00:21:30 – 00:22:59 | John Cena’s Confusing Media Switch: Heel to Babyface Overnight
Coach and Russo dissect John Cena’s post-event press handling, shifting between in-character heel and classic babyface in different public appearances—adding to the current WWE confusion.

00:23:00 – 00:24:56 | Taylor’s Cameo and Unfiltered Cena Comments
Taylor cues up a video clip with Cena’s cryptic comments about a new era and taking the championship “home”—leaving everyone, including Coach and Russo, scratching their heads about WWE’s direction.
